Latin Grammar - Tapa dura

"Panhuis brings a very welcome linguistic orientation to the study of Latin, an approach not found in the older traditional grammars currently used at the college level. Among the features likely to prove most helpful for students is the presentation of information in clear and easily readable charts and grids, and the explanations accompanying the English translations, allowing students to see clearly how to render a Latin structure into English both literally and idiomatically." - Deborah Ross, Department of Classical Studies, University of Michigan"

In "Latin Grammar", Dirk Panhuis has assembled an innovative reference that makes use of many of the advances that have taken place in linguistics during the last half century. Instead of old-fashioned grammar-translation approaches, Panhuis explains linguistic concepts clearly, thoroughly describing the mechanics of the sentence and its parts. In addition to discussing syntactic and semantic structures, and appropriate grammatical terminology and definitions, Panhuis also illustrates the grammar throughout with text by Latin authors. This concise reference, ideal for students and instructors of Latin in high schools and colleges, will supplant the out-dated grammars of Allen & Greenough and Hale & Buck.
